The Spiritual Nature of Frogs 
by Me 🙂 circa 1998 

Mesmerized
they line the streets
to begin their pilgrimage
across the great black plain.
A few edge into the unknown
in deep meditation, they enter the mist
and slowly cross the great expanse,
pausing occasionally, but never doubting the way.
Wide-eyed they approach the light…
lead by something .
Never blinking their eyes
the path – clear –
A test of faith?
Their faith in me?
My faith in them?
(Faith in myself?)
Or Someone’s faith in both of us?

(PS – I took the above shot of a toad at my friends Tim & Dianne’s last night. It was my first toad sighting of the summer! I love how they just seem to stare off into space.)
